Attempt to Get UP a Striking Apparatus
Among Postal Clerks
WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE postmaster
general has written the following letter to
a clerk in the Sixth division, who inquired
if convention of postal clerks in that
division would meet the approval of the
department;
"PosToFFIcE DEPARTMENT, OFFICE OF
THE POSTMASTER GENERAL,
WASHINGTON, d. O., July 8, 1887.
Dear Sir-I am in receipt of your letter
desiring to know whether the department
would look upon convention of
railway postal clerks of the
Sixth division with favor, It
being stated that the objects were to Guilt
vate fraternity, afford chiefs an oppor
tunity of meeting and hear
ing from the working force,
and clerks an opportunity of
making known to the department their
needs and securing the consideration of n
more equitable grading of railway postal
lines. In response, feel bound to state
that such convention, in my Judgment,
is worse than yalueless and unnecessary
The fraternity which will advance the use
fulness of postal clerks is the common de
votion to duty and a common patriotic
pride, which should animate every good
citizen to strive to honor the country
which lntrusts its business to his hands,
by just subordination to its dicipline
and laws, the faithful performance of his
duties. l am well satisfied this spirit
pervades the railway mail service.
m nf nh Of IIn IL
clerks on the road, is sufficiently provided
for by the regulations and usages and
the equitable grading is the constant care
of the department and its officers to
whom they belong. The opportunity for
a general survey affords them such better
means of forming judgment, that the
law may be deemed to be right in assum-
ing that the subject may be more safely
intrusted there, than to the inspiration of
genius, limited within narrow compass.
There is not only no occasion for any
such convention, but it is forbidden by
sound principles. People legislate through
their constitutional Representatives, and
neither require, nor will be likely long to
tolerate associations of their servants de-
signed to advance their own interest. Pos
tai clerks will be better officers, moro use
full in their generation and receive greater
favor from the public, whom they serve
and by whom they are employed and paid
Ii every man shall faithfully and
thoroughly discharge his appointed duty
i'll obedience to the officers and regula-
tions, rejoicing with just pride in the
accomplishment of service of which he
is worthy part, he may make to his SUI
periors such reports and suggestions for
improvement rs he shall thoughtfully
evolve from his observation and ex-
perience, according to due usage, with
out any convention, attendance ON which
would only interrupt his duties.
Yours Truly WIN. E. Villas,
Postmaster.g general.

CAPSIZED.
The Yacht Mystery Meets Dlsas-
ter in New York Waters
Sunday.
Out of Forty-seven Persons on
Board, Thirty seven Perish
Account of the IIlshap.

New YoRK, July 1.-THE sloop zach
Mystery left Ruffle, Barren island, III Ca
narsic bay, at o'clock last evening
loaded almost to the guHwales wi h womel
and children. When off Barren island, Oh
route for Canarsic, the yacht capsized
and only thirteen of the forty souls CON-
posing her passengers and crew are known
to have been rescued. The party which
was invited to go upon the excursion in
this terrible disaster was made up chiefly
of German families resident i'll Brooklyn.
The Mystery and its precious load swung
off from Rufile bar pier at 7 o'clock,
quickly followed by the Christina with
more OF this party. Captain Henrickson,
of the Mystery, said that he was going to
get to Canarsic first or blow the stick out.
The women made most
earnest protest against any more sail.
Captain HenricksOn persisted in his order
for more sail. The reefknots were I'M
fastened and the boom dropped, just as a
s1uall of considerable violence struck the
sail. In a second she was on her beam
ends ann all the people we're struggling in
a choppy sea. The catastrophe was wit
messed from a tug, which was then over
two miles away. For five minutes the
yacht remained on her beam ends, and the
shrouds and bulwarks offered some hold
for the engulfed people. The struggle
for place to hold on to was something
awful. Fully half of the drowning people
were children. Mothers made frantic eff
forts to get their little ones TO where they
could hold on to something. One after
another they were swept off in the tide
way, and, buoyed up by their clothing,
their hands waved in frantic and unavail
ing appeals for help. Some time before
the Dean got near enough to be of
service, negro put out from
Barren Island in rowboat, and was
the first to AID the drowning people. Al
together seven of the lives saved are to
be credited to his efforts. When the
Dean arrived there were few of the viz
tins still above the surface. As she neared
the place woman floating was trying TO
buoy up her four year old child, A man
on tho guards suddenly exclaimed:
"My God, that is my wife,
He Owed to her aid. The woman had
already lost her grip ON the child and was
about sinking. When he reached the sur
face no had the choice of saving her or
the child, and he chose the Wife He and
she we're soon drawn aboard the Dean, but
the child sank before their eyes. The
Deans willing passengers and crew sue
ceeded i'll rescuing five alive. The best
adyices estimate the whole load at forty
seven, and the number OF those saved is
only ten.
New YonK, July 11.-About / o'clock
this afternoon,the sloops Holman ana Veto
arrived at Canarsic, having in tow the un.
fortunate sloop Mystery. After bailing
the water out Of her eleven bodies were
found IN the cabin. Thirteen bodies have
so far been recovered.

nv speech: "We are here tonight to let
Rome know that in matters political not
one jot of our allegiance is rendered to
any power or potentate, but in its entirety
is ven to she laws AMI constitution of
the United States. Cheers. All of you
went to your several churches this morn
ing. In not one church did any one dare
to stand up and read the decree of Michael
Augustine Corrigan. Kisses and cat
calls. When the church authorities at
tack and depose holy man, whose very
leather latchets they are unworthy to IN
tie, they go to the daily press to promul-
gate their edicts. They do not publish
them from their holy pulpit"
DR.. McGlynn was received with vocifer-
Gus applause. During the course of his
speech he said: "Our God is merciful
as we'll as wise one. He will never con
denim any being who follows the dictate
of his conscience, even be that conscience
an erring one. In obeying it he is for
ever obeying the will of God, as is a
dogma of Catholic taith, and according to
all Christian philosophy and teachings
man who goes against his conscience sins
against the Holy Ghost, and despite the
power of any authority, even the Pope, if
a man does or says anything in obedience
t their power, if so doing he goes against
his conscience, he sins. Even if the
high Roman tribunal summons a
man before them for teaching
the truth which he knows to ex-
pect, and that tribunal should condemn
his doctrines without giving them trial,
and command him 10 retract them, it is
his duty before God to refuse to do So
Prolonged cheers. And ii it was in his
power, as it one time was, but, thank
God, no longer is, to imprisoh and mar
tyr truth IN the persons of those who have
read Gods Word in nature before they
have been able to see it, should they sum
mon him, and command him to retract,
ander penalty of imprisonment of martyr
dom, it is his duty to resist, and even be
burned alive at the stake rather than
the objectionable sin against the
Holy Ghost of declaring what his CON
science believed to be false"
NO PULPIT ANNOUNCEMENT.

that the excommunication of Rev. DR.. Nc
flynn would be announced to-day from |
lhe pulpits of the several Catholic |
churches throughout the diocese, but no
such announcement was made. A num-

The Noted Cincinnati Editor.

While Richard Smith, of The Cincinnati
Commercial Gazette, was walking up and
down the corridors of the Fifth Avenue
hotel the other day, Cincinnati man said:
81 noticed an inquiry somewhere recently as
to the source of Mr.. Smiths title of Deacon
1t came from his connection with the First
Presbyterian church of Cincinnati. He was
only member of the church, but became
very prominent several years ago in the dis
cussion over the question of the removal Of
the church to Walnut Hills, and thereupon he
was dubbed Deacon The title has stuck to
him ever SINCE especially as it was taken up
by Charles A. Dana, Of The New York Sun,
and reiterated until the whole country came
to know it, Mr.. Dana used to speak also Of
MIR. Smith as the Truly Good and that title
became a sort of byword in Cincinnati. re-
member once that party of gentlemen were
out at Walnut Hills, where Mr.. Smith lives,
when he threw open his house to entertain
them. One of the party was a newcomer
who had heard Mr. Smith spoken 6 as the
Truly Good so often that he became i'm
pressed with the idea that his name was Good,
and he proposed toast to Our cordial host,
Mr.. Good. '"-New York Tribune

The Progress of NIinstrelsy.

Speaking of the progress of minstrelsy,
Col, ]. II. Haverly said: "When l went into
minstrelsy, in 1861, it was the custom of the
best shows to carry about eighteen people;
now the companies carry as many as fifty
persons. 1 carried 100 people with me to
England. At that time minstrelsy depended
upon the reproduction of the genuine south
ern negro, as lie then was. We are fast los
ing that character now, because the negro is
rising from the corn field to higher plane.
Being deprived Of the ante-bellum negro, the
companies at present are obliged to create
new characters, and to give more show to
spectacular performances and acts which re-
qulre large number OF people on the stage.
Since the change from the small to the large
number it requires man who is a great
artist TO entertain an audience alone. "-Balti-

DR.. McGlynn.


New YORK, July 10.-Fhe anti-poyerty
meeting tonight was the largest ever
held, many persons being drawn hither no
doubt in view of the recent excommuni-
cation of DR.. McGlynn. The Academy of
Music was crammed, and the manage
ment found it necessary to hire Irving
hall, directly opposite, for an overflow
meeting. This, too, was soon packed,
and hundreds were turned away, unable to
find admission. James j. Gahan, of the
Catholic Herald, presided over the
academy meeting, and John Feeny over
that in Irving hall. The choir, composed
of members of DR.. McGlynn's old church,
struck up Marching to Freedom" to the
air of Marching Through Georgia" as the
doctor entered the academy. The effect
was electrical. Bursts of applause from
1000 throats were carried to the crowds
in the street, and thence to the Irving
hall meeting.

The outlook is not so good or resasuring as one

the corn crop, especially that planted very late,
will undoubtedly be cut short. Traffic in the city
continues dull, bnt not more go than usual in mid.

sudden decline of cotton, which has gone down
over Ac in the big markets within the last few
days. The present tumble lie almost as remark
able as the late ''spring rise" The fall OF the
STAPLE has been chiefly due to favorable crop re-
ports.
TIE movement toward organizing a board of
trade is regarded as favorable to the development
OF the commerce of Austin, because it consolidates
the business interests and gives them force, eff ct
and direction.
